Wow, this brings back memories!
It is a long time since I have been there.
Special image - and not just because of the memories.

The brightness of bushes and grass suggests a BW conversion.

They're two completely different pictures, but both are good.

Very nice, the light is lovely William, one doesn't often have this clarity down at the coast.

A nicely balanced composition which works well in both versions.

I'm not in love with the grasses in the foreground, but overall an excellent work.

IMHO, the f/g grasses help give some depth as they meander back into the base of the cliff. The important is, if you're happy, be happy!
